[QUOTE="Pom, post: 805790, member: 23933"] I hope so too! At least i'll have a spare if not ;-) Yes i should of posted logs, might still do this later... I did a lot of messing around with hardware and drivers to try and eliminate things before coming to the conclusion that i did - stuff that i did not write on this forum. One thing i am sure of is that it is a hardware fault and that the fault lies within the HTPC. One thing i didn't mention is that a couple of weeks ago one of those rubbish little stick-on heatsinks that i had stuck on the regulators on my graphics card had slipped down so far over time that it eventually shorted out a capacitor and hence one of the PSU supply rails. The PSU shut itself down quickly as designed, and after removing the short i was surprised to find that everything still worked! Or did it... Can faulty tuners cause problems playing back recordings? Had a few MP crashes over the last couple of days when playing back specific recordings. After the most recent one the error log only had a few entries and all were related to "nsm.exe thumbnail creation failed" and "deleting invalid recording"... Very strange behaviour. By the way i have the "fileexistence cache" thingy setting disabled. I've purged all my recordings now but if it does it again i'll post logs in the appropriate thread. I'll also try and post logs later for this satellite tuner problem. [/QUOTE]
